I couldn't find a better place to ask this sorry but I am going to be getting rid of my XB1 as I have decided to quit multiplayer gaming and as such decided to sell it as I prefer more single player games on other consoles.

However I just bought the likes of Forza Horizon, Fifa, D4 etc and added some funds to my Microsoft account unfortunately.

Does anybody know if I wanted to give my gamertag to someone so they can make use of the funds and games (not sure if I even know anyone with an Xbox!) if the only way is to simply remove all payment info etc and change the email address associated with it or is it just not possible?

I'd take it. ;)
But I think it's technically against the tos.

I think you would have to remove payment info and change the email. You probably don't want the new owner to have your login info.

Thanks I'll look into it some more. If I find out that I can remove everything safely etc I will probably just give it away as I am 100% sure I am not going to buy an Xbox again. (No more caving!)

Styx Review if anyone is interested in getting the game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLqa-oy7kNI

But if you don't like my reviews or youtube I can give some pros and cons and also answer any questions you have about the game.

Pros-
Worlds atmosphere
Sound, music and voice work(one or two misses here)
Styx is is a master of his tools not a tools using master. Lots of thought needed here but not as many tools as some other games which is perfect.
Stealth is just plain fun

Cons
Control when dropping down from above
Some jumping issues
Texture work
Fighting system shows that you should NEVER get in a an actual sword fight in the game. Its pretty bad.

All in all I liked it so much. The feeling of atmosphere the different way in which the at typical bad guy is a good guy here isn't just window dressing but is reflected everywhere in the game. Something is amiss in this world and I wish these guys had AAA money.

So we still don't have a launch date for Costume Quest 2 on Xbox One yet, do we? I was watching the quicklook today and really want to play it...

I'm super excited for Legend of Korra. The only problem I have with the game is that it comes out two days before Bayonetta 2 does...

Boo. No "achievements" for the NHL app.

And how come no challenges for Destiny or tracking..still weird that was omitted.

I just received an email asking me to complete my registration for the fable legends beta that starts October 16th. Check your emails if you signed up for it previously.

Edit: The first test group will be selected on Oct 13th. If fortune favours you, you'll receive an email then. Future waves of invites will go out regularly following that, all the way into 2015.

Yeah, same for me. Justs registered! Co-op looks fun if they manage to tweak the combat etc. Looked a bit clunky in its last showing.

Anyone else having problems with the Xbox One friends list? Support only mentions OneDrive.

I can't look at profiles or add or drop friends.

And the website does this:

Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened.
It appears you've found a glitch in the system.

Lords of the Fallen is this month? I thought it was November. It looks like I'm gonna skip Evil Within then. Styx, Chariot, Alien Isolation, Sunset Overdrive and Lords of the Fallen is more than enough to keep me busy for another month if not till the end of the year :)

What's the verdict on Chariot? Does anyone on GAF like the game?

Edit: I'm watching a twitch streamer for this game via XB1 and it looks boring. Slow treks up hills and jumps lugging the chariot around, with no decent music at all. And the art style is a bit weak too. I feel bad saying all that, heh. I was kind of looking forward to this game but I don't think I'll play it, barring positive impressions from any GAFers. I usually love quirky puzzle games but this one doesn't look fun at all. Is this game on the same level, or does it have any similar redeeming qualities, as the following games? Limbo, Braid, PB Winterbottom, Fez, Max Curse of Brotherhood, etc... Just to name a few of my favourite puzzle games...

D4 on the other hand - I just finished that and got the 1000/1000. That's easily one of the best games on XB1. Swery is awesome.

I don't have a final verdict yet with Chariot but I am at the third world (I want to say there is 5 worlds?) while playing solo. The game is probably alot easier and better with two people.

What the game gets right:
1. Graphics are easy on the eyes. Reminds me of Dust: An Elysian Tail (I still like Dust's art style a bit more).
2. Controls are tight so far. The puzzles might seem harsh at times but fair with the tight controls.
3. Big Bang for your $$$ aka Free Game with Gold - There is alot of levels, speed runs, things to collect.

What I dislike so far:
1. Escort Game - The whole game is one huge escort mission with the chariot. I never heard anyone want an entire game with just escort missions/levels.
2. Lengthy/Too much padding to Levels - Yes your fears are true with slow treks up hills and frustrating platforming failures. If you want to collect most of the gems, find the 3 skull coins, collect the item scroll then levels can take 30-45 minutes in the later levels. Some levels overstay its welcome at least while playing solo. Enemies don't hurt you but just loot your money and become just annoying since you can farm earlier/easier levels for gold.
3. No online play - Only local Co-Op.

I wouldn't put Chariot in the same class as Limbo, Braid, Fez, and/or Max: Curse of Brotherhood (Yes, you have good taste in puzzle platformers). Chariot seems to be a good puzzle platformer just not an elite one. I hope this helps. I am going to finish Chariot some day but Forza Horizon 2 slows me down a bit.

Thanks, it does help. I have the license downloaded so I own the game either way. But I'll go ahead and play other games instead for now. I'm finishing off Flockers and Monkey Island 2. I'm thinking of playing my copies of Darksiders 1+2 to coincide with Darksiders 2 being the second GWG this month.

I got a new update for the smartglass app. It added popular games in the friends tab and that TV and OneGuide is available for new countries. Is the October coming soon?

Managing DLC is still very strange on the Xbox One.
If you don't have a game tile in your games section, you may not be able to delete it.

HBO Go was supposed to be out last December. And yet, still nothing. :(

We really need app developers to be more honest about launch dates.

Apps will probably continue to be stealth dropped with announcements on release day. I think HBO announced plans for a new model, so that may be holding up the app.
